Proudly representing #CA06 and #SacramentoCounty in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Stephen Miller’s statement that ICE officers can essentially do whatever they want and act with impunity is appalling and dangerous.

This is how democracies die.

We have to stand up and fight for our rights because tyrants like Stephen Miller are trying to take them away from us.

We successfully forced a vote against Speaker Johnson's wishes to restore Affordable Care Act subsidies and lower health care costs for more than 20 million Americans.

That vote is happening this afternoon.

Let’s get this done.

15 years ago today, @gabbygiffords.bsky.social was shot during a meeting with constituents that took six lives and injured 13 others.

In the aftermath of this tragedy, she became a relentless advocate for commonsense gun safety legislation.

Every House Democrat and four Republicans signed a discharge petition to force a vote on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies.

That vote will happen this week.

I invite more of my Republican colleagues to support our push lower health care costs for the American people.

Nearly three years later, Republican leadership refuses to comply with the law and install the plaque. That’s why I’ve placed a replica of the plaque outside my D.C. office to ensure these heroes receive the recognition they deserve.

It will remain there until the official plaque is installed.

In 2022, President Biden signed a law ordering a plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who defended the Capitol on January 6th to be installed on the west front of the Capitol by March 2023.

Five years ago today, a violent mob stormed the United States Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election and stop the peaceful transfer of power.

I was also at this briefing. Senator Shaheen is accurate and correct. We were misled by Administration officials.

President Trump is drawing our nation into another open-ended conflict and is risking a repeat of failed nation-building efforts.

Happy New Year, Sacramento County!

Wishing everyone a fabulous 2026.

As the clock winds down on 2025, I’m proud of the work my team and I have done to serve Sacramento County.
January 1, 2026 at 4:25 AM
This year, my dedicated casework team assisted more than 4,000 Sacramento County residents and returned over $3 million to local taxpayers by cutting through red tape and resolving issues with federal agencies.

Let’s practice kindness and extend a helping hand to those in need this holiday season.
December 29, 2025 at 4:40 PM
This time of year can be especially challenging for those facing hardship. It’s also a moment to come together as a community and give back.

I find purpose in volunteering with local organizations that work to ensure no one feels forgotten or left behind during the holidays.
December 29, 2025 at 4:40 PM
Wishing a joyous Kwanzaa to all who celebrate in Sacramento County and around the world!
December 27, 2025 at 12:25 AM
From my family to yours, Merry Christmas!

Wishing everyone a fabulous day filled with love, joy, and quality time spent with friends and family. 🎄🎁

President Trump: you don't have the authority to take us to war with Venezuela.

Only Congress has the power to declare war.

If you believe there is a threat to the United States, you need to make your case to Congress.

Every single House Democrat has signed a discharge petition to force a vote on extending ACA subsidies.

We only need FOUR Republicans to stand up to Speaker Johnson and join us in protecting access to affordable, quality health care for over 20 million Americans.
December 16, 2025 at 4:28 PM
You should never have to choose between putting food on your table, covering your rent, and paying your health insurance premium.

But for more than 20 million Americans, that already difficult decision will become even harder if Affordable Care Act subsidies are allowed to expire.
December 11, 2025 at 5:34 PM
Affordability is not a hoax.

It’s something American families deal with every day from putting food on the table to paying the rent to deciding whether they can afford health insurance.

This is a crisis and Donald Trump is making a joke out of it.
December 10, 2025 at 8:42 PM
This is a dangerous move that undermines our technological edge over China. 

The president should not be allowed to make unilateral decisions like this behind closed doors and over the objections of our national security experts.
December 10, 2025 at 3:36 AM
Today, we remember and honor the 2,403 servicemembers and civilians who lost their lives in the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Our nation will forever be grateful to the World War II veterans who answered the call to defend our nation and our freedoms in the aftermath of this tragedy.
December 7, 2025 at 11:19 PM
Too many Sacramento County families are struggling to pay for their health care.

You should never have to choose between health insurance and putting food on your table.

We've got a crisis and I'm working to fix it.

Sacramento County is the proud home to one of the largest Afghan populations in America.

We cannot allow the actions of one individual to besmirch an entire people — especially those who stood side by side with our troops in Afghanistan and now face threats from the Taliban.

Secretary Hegseth must come before Congress and justify the legality of the military's boat strikes in the Caribbean.

The American people deserve clear answers from this Administration.
